Drinking cool, feminine, filled with cool pepper and mint, clay and tobacco, and that beautiful green component that I cant put my finger on. Really classy and ready to go. The finish is a bit clipped otherwise, higher score. Drink! Kinda Moutonish...

2000 Château FigeacSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/27/2021 - Comte Flaneur wrote: 96 pointsThe 2000 Figeac was sensational and by far the most exciting wine in a recent right bank tasting of 95/98/00/01. It was spikey and feral with a riveting green overlay an emerging tertiary complexity, and it had a terrific finish. Eric d’Aramon, who got his marching orders in 2012 after failing to secure an upgrade to Premier A status, was roundly criticised by some of the critics (no need to name them) for picking his 2000 too early; but he really nailed it. Drinking this makes me worry about my recent purchases of 2016 and 2019, which may have been Rollandised.

2005 Greenock Creek Shiraz Seven AcreBarossa Valley more |
8/30/2019 - NostraBacchus Likes this wine: 95 pointsPretty explosive notes of black cherries, elderberries, black currant, mint, some cedar wood, also some tar, dill, some pepper and leather too, as well as some burnt meat. It‘s full-bodied, dense and powerful, but has good medium-high acidity balancing the richness, medium+ tannin adding grip. Good length. Not exactly what I usually drink nowadays but this has aged really nicely and there is no rush in drinking it. A superbly rich but also fresh and balanced Barossa Shiraz.

2014 Isole e Olena Chardonnay Collezione Privata Toscana IGTmore |
4/18/2020 - Karoline.phillips wrote: 95 pointsButtery, creamy nose of lemon curd, vanilla, nutmeg, almonds, apricots. Oak presence is clear but somehow manages to smell austere - mineral, stoney - underneath. V long palate, with vibrant acidity, but perfectly balanced with the richness of the oak. Lemon/curd, orange, butter, almonds, and a strong mineral streak. Palate is structured around soft waves of acid. Finishes with a touch of ginger, heat. Close your eyes and it’s almost a Meursault? Pure enjoyment. Immediately ordered more!

7/8/2020 - sonodoc Likes this wine: 94 pointsAfter the hype and all the years of cellaring, I was hoping that this might be one of my all-time favorite bottles, so I was a little disappointed (but financially relieved for the future) that I thought that this was merely a very good wine. Medium body, modest sediment, flavors of oak, vanilla, raspberry. Smooth, but not particularly exciting. For the money I'd much rather have 2 or 3 bottles of Realm, Schrader, Saxum, or Two Hands Ares.

2015 Bodega Catena Zapata Chardonnay Catena Alta Historic RowsMendoza more |
11/29/2019 - SoorajB Likes this wine: 92 pointsA well-rounded chardonnay with a clean, crisp and smooth finish. Surprised with the amount of minerality that comes through. For $30, this is hard to beat. May not be good for the long haul due to an absence of acidity but this will be a great wine to crack open next summer.

1998 La Petite EglisePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/25/2017 - Wineteacher Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a wonderful wine at full maturity. There is virtually no sediment and the color is still very much red and hasn't gone much to the tile end at all. The color is medium red and the body is of medium weight. The wine has cedar bouquet with pencil, pipe tobacco and dried fruit. It is balanced with the right acidity for its body. Not at all a huge wine but a beautifully balanced medium-bodied beauty. I particularly like the mature flavors of the earth and dead leaf aspects of this wine. It is a great wine for a red meat roast or lamb chops. Cheeses too. It is fairly similar to the taste a year ago but a tiny bit more subdued. No need to aerate this wine much. Not decanting may also work as I saw virtually nothing when I did decant. As to its maturity, I see that some reviewers have said about this wine is slightly passed it prime or that it had lost fruit. My cellar is quite cold and consistent, which may explain the holding quality of this wine. I don't think it is passed its prime at all. I think it is at the plateau. As to fruit, one has to expect that one part of maturity is to trade the brighter fruit for the wonderful spectrum of the complex taste of a mature wine. The fruit, at this stage, is the evolved kind, more vinous and less that of fresh fruit. This is a pleasure giver at this stage. I still have six and I am quite happy with it.

7/11/2018 - GNBB wrote: 91 pointsDecanted 30 minutes. Firm nose of ripe red cherries with a light grassy / herb freshness alongside developing savoury notes. Palate is firm with good acidity, medium fine tannins and ripe red cherry fruits. Light truffles and savoury notes. Almost a little light chocolate on palate. The wine is drinking excellent at the moment and is ideal. Drink now-2020.

2008 Familia Cassone Malbec Obra Prima Coleccion Gran ReservaMendoza more |
4/7/2012 - GreatLibations wrote: 92 pointsPours blackish with deep purple around the rim. Smells of musk, toasted oak, blackberries and cinnamon stix. Ultra rich and viscous like spent motor oil. The texture is chewy with some grit yet soft. A central core of blackfruit and plum throwing minerals and charred remains at the wall. It sticks and slides down slowly. This wine is massive and bold. It hits hard and remains, to finish you off where you lay, leaving your teeth stained like a third world. I think I need a dentist.

7/25/2014 - brubron Likes this wine: NRthis is a good california style merlot. strong, concentrated fruit, smooth mouth feel, soft tannins and a good finish. Oak was a bit much at first but calmed down after about an hour. not at all like its cousin on the right bank of Bordeaux, but a polished wine nonetheless.
